/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Vote on the draft resolution on "Turkey's
progress toward accession" which should have been voted on
Wednesday, July 12th by the Committee for Foreign Affairs of
the European Parliament was postponed due to practical reasons,
reported the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy
(EAFJD). The major reason for delay was the late translation of the
numerous amendments. These amendments were submitted only on Monday
afternoon to the various political groups, which did not leave time
to them to prepare for the vote. The European Parliament resolution
will finally be voted on the first week of September (4-7/09) by the
Foreign Affairs Committee and eventually on the last week of September
in the plenary session.
To remind, the other day members of the leading European Parliament
factions offered to introduce the Armenian Genocide issue and opening
of borders with Armenia without any preconditions as the items of
the agenda of the EU-Turkey talks.
